Viewers submit videos for MTV

MTV is bringing user-generated content to the net, incorporating video it has gathered online into two of its series, reports Variety.

"Viacom cabler will comb through content that consumers upload on new sites for pop-culture parody show "Short Circuitz" and smack-talk series "Yo' Momma"; it will then use the best segments on episodes of the shows, both of which begin this month.

Viewers will be able to record, upload and submit their own sketches on Shortcircuitz.mtv.com. As much as 30% of the videos on the on-air version of "Circuitz" will be culled from the Web site, execs said Thursday."
